Each child should have comfortable clothing, sneakers, and flip-flops or swim shoes. They should also have a bathing suit and towel.

Summer camp is all about fun, but we do not allow electronic devices such as Gameboys, iPods, iPads, or cell phones. A cell phone may be left at the front office if necessary.
